If you’re getting married this summer or are decorating your home, check out the flower trends for the season below.

Flowers
The 2 most used flowers this season are orchids and wildflowers. Orchids are available in several different types and have a wide range of colors, and give off a tropical feel. Wildflowers can have an almost country touch to them and are available in soft or bright colors. Using several different wildflowers in a centerpiece allows you to tie in many colors or themes all at once.

The Earth
Earthy and natural colors and themes are very popular this summer. Use a green, brown, soft blue and cream color palette to create a calm and relaxed environment in your home. Keep the arrangements simple with only a few flower stems and even less greenery, if any at all. Some ideas of flowers and greenery that will help you achieve this look are bamboo, orchids, bells of Ireland, calla lilies, and pussy willow.

Fruitful
Fruits are very popular this summer. Whether it be a bowl of various fruits, or incorporated in a bouquet or floral arrangement. Try favorites like strawberries, raspberries, grapes, apples, and pears.

Think Pink
Pink is the most desired color this season — from the palest pink to coral to the brigest fuschia. Try using several shades together in an arrangement for that complete pink feel. Popular pink flowers for 2008 are peonies, gerbera daisies, dahlias, hydrangeas, and roses.

Other Colors
If pink is not your color, don’t despair. Other colors for 2008 include the both a bold and a “black” palette. For the bold look, think tropical. Use colors such as vibrant reds, oranges, and aqua blues. For the “black” palette, choose flowers in the deep, intense colors of red and purple. These two colors in their dark hues appear to be almost black at first glance. You can also incorporate the colors in their softer shades as well as gray accents. Using this palette gives an overall aura of mystery to any room or wedding.
